My experience, as I'm sure with many other people, with my freerunner has been frustrating most of the time. To say, its all on the user is wrong. Granted the community could be better, however, its hard to contribute when everything is so fragmented. For instance, about the echo problem, one

I agree with this whole thread of Openmoko's fatal mistake of moving on to GTA03 with GTA02 still being unstable and unusable as a primary phone. If GTA02 gets left behind in the dust without ever working properly, it doesn't say much for their company. If Openmoko feels the hardware of GTA02

Ah! legal recourse is certainly not the right path! I have long stayed out of this discussion as it's mostly been trolling about OpenMoko, but to be honest making a phone is hard... I've personally worked on projects involving building consumer electronics devices. We had far less success

A quick thought...if Openmoko feels the hardware of GTA02 is inadequate to even bother making it a stable phone, should there not be some sort of recall and free replacement with a GTA03. $399 for a phone that never worked properly is pretty hard to swallow, and even harder to swallow when the

Paul, Let's be honest here FIC is making a pretty penny off of OpenMoko, using very old hardware selling at a premium price (2.5g not even EDGE). Yet we are OK with that. If you don't know you shouldn't pretend to know. I applaud the brave investors we have, we have a long way to go to

Here is a suggestion: If the GPS hardwarer in GTA02 is wrong, would Openmoko consider fixing it for all those who purchased Openmoko? They should ship back the Freerunner, fix it and send it back to all owners. And, (P.S. arne akka) here is a PDF which tells us about some different better GPS
